Caring and detailed

Mr. Kallen and Ms. Hensley both took time from their super busy scheduled to listen to each detail of my case, then plotting the best course of action. Divorce is never an easy road to travel but they helped by offering sound advise and representing my facts in court with great precision. I gained great friends from this experience. I would recommend either for representation.

Hard working and responsive.

I moved to this area with my husband (his family is here) and when our marriage failed I was at the short end of the stick in every way because he didn't want me to work but stay home and take care of the house and him and the kids. Julie was still willing to work with me even though I didn't have much money. With her help and the others at the law office, I was able to get things in order and it turned out really well. I don't know that my ex and I will ever get along really well. But when I got Julie's advice I was able to do what I needed to do to get my kids, my divorce and move on. I am really happy now and some of that is because of how hard they worked to help me back when I really needed help.

tough times

Greg Kallen used to be a prosecutor so I was worried when I got him for my case. He really saved me and my family though. I was real scared cause I would have gone to jail a long time. He was able to show them that I wasn't the guy they thought I was. Thank you Mr. Kallen. He didn't give up on me and worked a lot harder than everyone told me a lawyer would to help me.

Lovely experience

I came to the Kallen and Hensley Law Firm so desperate. I think I was hysterical but they got me to focus on my goal for the issue and we moved forward. I was even able to be calm while were dealing with the case because they are so confident and reassuring. Their pricing was less than others I'd talked to and they were willing to explain, more than once, everything that was going on and how it would all happen. I'll always be grateful.

Honest and Reliable

I came to Mrs. Hensely in need of assistance in a divorce and with that I was distraught and unaware of the procedure. She was very honest in informing me in what to expect and the best manner in how to go about it. I was beyond satisfied with her knowledge of what I was going through and found her indispensable. I hope to never have a need for an attorney again but if I do it will be Mrs. Hensely without a doubt.
